Step 1: Get the Grid Ready

1. Open Word
2. Make a 2.09" x 2.09" square with a "White, Background 1, Darker 15%" border
3. Copy and Paste so you have 12
4. Put them all side by side into a 3x4 grid
Now you have a grid that when you cut out the squares you can fold each of them in half diagonally, and they will each fit over a paper football.

What is the button that you click on to make a box/grid?

1. View - Toolbars - Make sure "Drawing" is checked
2. Click on the square on the drawing toolbar and make a square.  HINT: Do NOT draw the square in the box that says "Make your drawing here".  Draw it outside of that box!
3. If it makes a second bigger weird looking box, click on the border of that extra box and hit delete so it goes away
4. Right click on your box and choose Format Autoshape
5. Click the Size tab.  Set the size to 2.09 X 2.09
6. Click the Colors and Line tab and set the LINE color to grey and the wieght to .75

Yes, Word 2003 will still work.  Go for it! 

BTW: If you try to open a Word 2007 file in Word 2003 it will make you download and install a "compatability pack" from Microsoft... it is fast and painless.
